> The huge gap between the university curriculum and the real world industry I'm not sure I agree with this though. "Real world" is very different from company to company, domain to domain. It also changes dramatically in just the few years required to attain a degree. I've always viewed universities as providing the foundation and discipline needed to adapt to any of those situations rather preparing or trying to guess at the needs of any particular one.
